Biography

Walter Dutchak has had a varied career, and eclectic education. His interests vary over a large range including music (playing classical guitar, violin, enjoying classical music), art (painting a bit), amateur astronomy, philosophy, spiritual topics, and chess.

His career has included teaching in public schools, teaching adults in the work place, writing technical courses, engineering technology, computer programming and application design, and over 22 years in the telecommunications industry.

Main current interests include self inquiry and understanding relationships in their variety of manifestations. He has studied authors such as Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti and Burt Harding, and keeps in touch with the many satsung sessions that are recorded by various “spiritual” teachers as found on You Tube.

In the past two years Walter has written 4 books: Thoughts and Time, Watching Thought, Mastery of Self – an inquiry, and Mastery of Self – a closer look.

The author has enjoyed retirement from the labor market for the past 14 years and is currently enjoying life with his spouse, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters in the quiet town of St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada.

Books

“Mastery of Self–an inquiry” investigated the nature of self and what Mastery implied.
In this sequel the author unveils that which would benefit from mastery. The many topics discussed aim at revelation beyond intellectual understanding. See the naked self that we think ourselves to be. Get a taste of what Mastery could lead to.

What is the nature of self? What does Mastery imply? When one looks very closely at what it is that we are in essence, we cannot really come up with any reasonable answer. If we permit an 'idea' of mastery of self to be defined by limited thought then the imagination will come up with all sorts of "fantastic" explanations. Deeper inquiry reveals the invalidity of such explanations.

Have you ever watched thought? Have you seen its character? What is it in essence?
Is there freedom from the limitations of thought? Where is thinking most practical? In what situations can thought interfere with and complicate your life?
These, and many more intriguing questions are pursued over three years of personal exchanges over a public internet forum on Personal Development.
